Dad eligible for parole in infant's death

Benjamin Senseman was sentenced to a six-year prison term in Boone Circuit Court this morning for his guilty plea in the 2009 death of his infant daughter. Circuit Judge J.R. Schrand sentenced Senseman to five years for reckless homicide and another year for criminal abuse with the terms to run consecutively.

Senseman, 34, of Hebron, has been in jail since 2010, when a jury convicted him of manslaughter. He was sentenced to serve 15 years. Last year, the Kentucky Court of Appeals threw out the conviction because he made statements that were used in his prosecution before being read his Miranda rights. The court ruled he was in custody at the time and threw out those statements.

Senseman pleaded guilty to the lesser charges on March 13. With time already served, he's already eligible for parole.⬛
